Hi. My name's Heddi. I'm the big cheese founder of Travel Gift Card, mytab.co, not .com, .co with my best friend, Muppet Bundle Cundle who's just taking an afternoon nap because she had a treat, her jaws ache and she needs a break. Today we're talking about how to make money for bars. Now I did PR marketing for many restaurants and bars over the years and there's a few different ways that you can do this to maximize without having to open up new division of dining or have a whole club theme, etc. I'm going to give you a few pointers that you can use. It worked for us, it'll work for you. Trust me. OK. Very very simple one. Selling discounted two for one drinks. Actually we used to do buy one take two. That caption works. Remember that one. Sell merchandise, cool bottle openers, t-shirts, music tracks, sell these. We used to do this all the time. We made a fortune from this. Sell food or snacks at the bar. Create, call it like a bit on the side menus with appetizers. These will go with certain kinds of cocktails. Like do it for like 3 dollars or 5 dollars each. Keep it really simple on the snacks. You don't have to get a whole kitchen in. Charge door entry for special nights. Maybe you've got a quiz night, maybe you've got gigs going on, maybe you've got a comedy stand up. Just make a bit of cash from this. Private parties or private areas or private section in the bar, no brainer. Bachelors, bachelorette, etc. For birthdays, anniversaries, business occasions. So if you've got something really cool like the bar that I used to PR in London, one of them, it was Roadhouse Bar and Grill, I really, well actually it was not Bar and Grill, it was Roadhouse Bar, and it had a full dinning menu as well. But we had all these events. Now this is interesting. We used to do Roadhouse flare competitions, drink juggling. I co, no actually one of my guys, Bret, he created it. And then he left me to move back to Australia so I was then in charge of this event. We were getting tons and tons of people coming in within a few months of this event. It was once a month. We needed to build up on cash. We got busy in the main area where the stage was. So what we used to do is sell a bucket of beer to people at the front of the stage. Because they couldn't get to the bar. They're waiting too long, we want to maximize it out. Buy 8 beers or 6 beers in a bucket. Do you want to buy a t-shirt to go with that, of course you want a t-shirt to go with it. Do you want to buy a bottle opener with it? Of course you want to do that. So you're maximizing the all the space in the venue of going around. Waitress service, that kind of stuff. Hey, do you want to our new appetizer. We're doing a bit on the side. You've got a Lynchberg lemonade, you've got a Mojito, you need to break down the fatty acids with it. Do something that's a little like a steak dish on the side, small steak dish on the side. Charge a few dollars for that one. Start bringing in money. It's a no-brainer. My name's Heddi.
